This guide will introduce you to luxurious watch designs, inner mechanics, their complicated mechanics, functionalities, and particularly how Behrens redefines what it means to own a luxury timepiece.
What Makes a Watch “Luxury”?
When we talk about luxury watches, we refer to more than just their aesthetic appeal. True luxury watches are crafted with precision, using premium materials and advanced mechanical movements. They offer a ‘luxury experience’ by combining elegance, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched attention to detail.
At Behrens, luxury means staying true to our roots while pushing boundaries in watchmaking. Our original designs blend classic mechanical engineering with contemporary innovation, creating timepieces that tell stories and capture memories just than telling time.
Key Complications in Luxury Watches:
In the world of horology (the study and making of timepieces), the term ‘complications’ describes any function beyond basic hour, minute and second displays. Complications range from simple additions like date displays to complex features such as perpetual calendars and intricate tourbillons.
Here’s some key complications found in luxury watches and how they enhance their appeal:
-
Chronograph:
A chronograph is essentially a stopwatch integrated into a watch. It can measure intervals of time with precision, making it highly functional for timing events, sports, and more. Chronographs are popular for their versatility and mechanical complexity.
-
Moon Phase
This functionality displays the lunar cycle, showing the phase of the moon according to year, month, and date settings.
It adds a touch of celestial beauty to the watch dial, making it a sought-after feature among collectors. Click here to see the demo of moon phase functionality among Behrens watches.
-
Power Reserve Indicator
Power reserve indicator is another complication in luxury watches, which is designed to show the remaining energy storage of the watch. This makes easier for the wearer to wind the watch on time to avoid the watch stopping.
-
Perpetual Calendar
The perpetual calendar tracks the date, day, month and even leap years all without requiring manual adjustment. This intricate complication is a hallmark of high-end watchmaking and showcases a deep level of craftsmanship.
-
24-Hour Time Display
Some mechanical luxury watches also have 24-hour dial to display the time from 0:00 – 23:00. This function is useful to avoid confusion between mornings and afternoon (or day & night) time duration. The dial design looks unique, easy to read and very useful for travelers and entrepreneurs.
-
Tourbillon
The tourbillon is a complex mechanism in luxury watches that improves accuracy by rotating the balance wheel and escapement in a cage, reducing the impact of gravity on timekeeping. It is known for its intricate design and craftsmanship. It represents the peak of watchmaking skill, adding both precision and prestige to luxury timepieces.

-
Avoid Impact and Magnetic Fields:
A luxury mechanical watch is a precise and intelligent masterpiece, and the higher the price the more indestructible it is. On the contrary, the more precise a mechanical watch, the more susceptible it is to impact. A magnetic field can also affect the normal performance of the watch. Although magnetic fields do not directly damage the watch, however they may still affect its accuracy or even cause the watch to stop working. The most common magnetic fields come from mobile phones, magnetic wristbands, bag buckles, speakers, computers, and various household appliances.
-
Waterproofing & Avoid Scratching:
Your Behrens watch has passed a pressure check with a waterproof depth of over 3 bars before delivery. This ensures that the watch is protected from splashing or coming into contact with a large amount of water. Although all the Behrens watches are waterproof but we do not recommend to use in bathing, sauna, or other situations, as it may cause water ingress. It is also recommended to keep your watch away to avoid hitting hard objects like bracelet or jewelry as it may also leave scratches on the metal case or especially the gold case.
